This is former EOS Program Office renamed and re-envigorated for the Decadal Survey Directed missions are managed by the implementing Center (LaRC for CLARREO) with oversight and assistance as needed or requested from ESM-PO EMS-PO develops performance standards and provides independent assessments for all Decadal Survey missions While housed at GSFC the ESM incorporates expertise from across NASA In particular including science and instrument expertise from LaRC and JPL NASAs Project Lifecycle CLARREO is here Need to be here by October 2009 Road to MCR and KDP-A: The Mission Study Process Conduct studies and analyses to derive the Level 1 requirements (Science, engineering, cost and schedule) Complete an analysis of alternatives resulting in a conceptual design, and conduct Mission Concept Review Prepare for approval all documents required in NPR D (NASA Space Flight Program and Project Management Requirements) 8 Study Guidelines: the study process Pre-Phase A is an iterative process. Crucial to conducting a successful study is agreement on a set of realistic mission objectives and their flowdown to science and measurement requirements that are documented in the missions Level 1 Requirements. Study Goals & Objectives Establish performance metrics, develop and document the mission science requirements (Level 1 requirements), explore the full range of implementation options, define an affordable project concept to meet requirements specified in the Level 1s, identify needed technologies, and begin preliminary development of the Project Plan. Define the best mission that fits within the allocated resources and bring the mission to Phase A maturity. Mission Study Teams should explore the optimum range of cost, schedule, and capability that will maximize the science/cost ratio across the entire Decadal Survey flight program. Study Guidelines: activities Investigate: Potential Partnerships with non-NASA organizations Instrument and mission design and development options, including make/buy decisions and alternative mission operations approaches Conduct trades: Science requirements, trying to identify the significant cost vs. performance parameters Mission risk (looking for cost vs. reliability drivers) Technology Acquisition Strategy Mission operations approach Data Processing and distribution approach Access to space (launch vehicle selection; co manifest; etc) Study Guidelines: study schedule should include these activities Detailed mission concept definition Sensitivity analyses (science measurement requirements and instrument performance parameters) Cost estimates Risk assessments System impacts of new technology infusion Concept validation Mission trade space modeling Study reports and archived models Level 1 requirement definition Temporal and spatial resolution requirements. Measurement accuracy requirement as a function of spatial resolution. Effect of orbit selection on mission performance. Mission lifetime. Other science requirements achievable by potential instrument combinations that could extend the mission applicability to other science questions. Measurement(s) to be made Science rationale (How measurements contribute to science question(s)) Related measurements of complementary value Define roles for international partners Define a baseline instrument concept, including the rationale and key instrument performance parameters Identify alternative instrument concepts Define a spacecraft concept, including key spacecraft performance parameters Identify launch requirements Identify Supporting R&A investments Identify Specific cal/val requirements Generate a detail cost estimate for instrument, Ground System, MO& DA, Science, Project Management, Systems Engineering, and Flight Assurance. Parametric estimate for spacecraft.
